CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Homicide detectives are investigating the Sunday death of a 45-year-old man on the city's West Side.

A resident in the Taris Square apartment complex at 3511 Bosworth Rd. called police about 3 p.m., after finding a neighbor dead inside his fourth-floor apartment, police said.

Paramedics found the man unresponsive and pronounced him dead at the scene, police said. They also noticed evidence of trauma on his body and called Cleveland police's homicide unit, who have launched an investigation.

The victim was identified as 45-year-old Michael A. Robinson, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's office website.

A police spokesman said there is no more information available for release, citing the ongoing investigation.

Robninson's friends and family huddled outside the apartment complex southeast of Lorain Avenue and West 117th Street late Sunday afternoon, crying and hugging in disbelief as medical examiner's office technicians carried their son's body out of the building. They declined to comment.
